His theory is that many attempted murders are prosecuted as aggravated assaults, and that advances in various medical best practices (care delivered on ambulance, emergency surgery, etc) have increased the survival rate of people who have been victims of assault, thus making the total number of people who die from murder decrease as a percentage of the population....but the actual rate of people trying to kill each other has increased.
